Maria Bello's stock is high since her appearance in Cronenberg's A History of Violence, and she carries off another mom role nicely in this creepy supernatural thriller, evidently inspired by Brit-bucolic nightmares like Straw Dogs and The Wicker Man. She plays Adelle, who brings her troubled-teen daughter (Sophie Stuckley) to stay with her former husband James (Sean Bean), an artist who has a converted farmhouse on a remote Welsh hillside.

Fifty years ago, it was the site of a bizarre suicide cult, and the old demons soon reassert themselves. John Fawcett, noted for his werewolf shocker Ginger Snaps, directs and the result is atmospheric and rather chilling.
